The Milwaukee Bucks and the New York Knicks will meet for a third time this season with the latter going for a sweep.
Both teams are dealing with injuries to key players although Bucks’ injury concern with Damian Lillard is quite new.
For the Knicks, Jalen Brunson has been out since March, missing 12 games already. However, his recovery is now in full swing. In fact, he is already joining the team in home games and even travelled with them in Los Angeles.
Will he be ready in time for their game against the Bucks? Hear it from the two-time All-Star himself.
“I’ve been back here, back East since the LA game,” Brunson said during an appearance at the Roommate podcast.
“I’m feeling better, walking without the boot … Just doing everything I can to get back, 100 percent. Doing stuff two-to-three times a day, just working my way.”
Brunson is averaging 26.3 points and 7.4 assists per game. They are 7-5 with him out of the line-up.
Milwaukee Bucks injury report
The Bucks played and lost to the Nuggets without superstar Giannis Antetokounmpo but the latest news about the Greek Freak is more encouraging.
The two-time MVP has been listed as questionable due to left foot strain, something he suffered from during their loss to the Phoenix Suns.
Injury Report – March 28 vs. New York
Out:
Damian Lillard (Right Calf Deep Vein Thrombosis)
Bobby Portis Jr. (League Suspension)
Jericho Sims (Right Thumb UCL Sprain)Questionable:
Giannis Antetokounmpo (Left Foot Sprain)— Milwaukee Bucks (@Bucks) March 27, 2025
However, they are still undermanned as they still don’t have a back up center with Bobby Portis still serving his suspension and Jericho Sims not returning until second week of April after undergoing thumb surgery.
